I have an event yesterday with a notification on Google calendar.

I start up email today. Notification pops up. I cannot dismiss the notification.

I edit the event to remove the notification. On Thunderbird - but it won't save. So I go to Google calendar and remove the notification.

On Google calendar, it says I have no notification for this event. On Thunderbird it will NOT let me remove the notification.

Now every time i open thunderbird, the notification pops up. Short of deleting the event (which I do not want to do because I want a record of it on my calendar), there is NO way to make this stop.

I have had this problem pop up periodically for the last 18 months. (Unfortunately, it's getting bad enough with no fix I will need to find a different email/calendar application).

Any ideas how to fix? (Can we get the bug fixed in the code?)

This is a strange issue. I've been using Thunderbird for over 15 years, and today, while working with a client, I attempted to click "New Event," but it was greyed out. After ending the call, I started troubleshooting.

Steps I’ve Taken:

  • Re-added all existing accounts—no change.
  • Tried adding a fresh calendar—received a strange error (which I didn’t copy) about encryption or a "request missing required authentication credential."
  • Uninstalled Provider for Google Calendar and removed all accounts.
  • Same authentication error—Google sign-in system wouldn't appear.
  • Searched Google for recent similar issues—nothing in the past 30 days, nothing within the past year.
  • Restarted my computer.
  • Was able to re-add all accounts, but nothing is syncing.
  • At this point, I’m completely baffled. No system changes have been made. I'm running Windows 10 with the latest version of Thunderbird and its extensions. My system clock and timezone are correct.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I want to sync up my devices, both of which are logged in to my mozilla account. In the settings, there is an option to "Connect Another Device". This prompts me to scan a QR code within the firefox mobile app.

Unfortunately, the option to scan a QR code does not seem to exist in the current version of the app. In the sync settings, there is no way to open a QR code scanner. Opening it via the camera or icon in the URL bar on the app brings me to a page saying "you have to do this within the firefox app!".

The only solution I've found is to log out of my mobile app, then I unlock the option to scan a QR code to log me back in. I'm sure this is not intentional behaviour; I suppose this is more of a bug report than a support request but I wasn't sure where to post this.

peculiar problem, my wife's installation of Thunderbird seems to be corrupt somehow. she cannot make a new folder or subfolder, when you right click the option to create a new folder is not even there, the only way is file/new/folder but nothing happens...now that was weird enough but since this started we have both got new machines with a new installation of windows 11 and a new installation of thunderbird and yet the wife still has the same problem, we did import the profile from the old hard drive so could the problem have been imported with the profile.

I have changed a thousand settings from various help pages, I can program, build and repair PCs, and I run my own dedicated server so I am not a noob.

it seems that something somewhere is restricting the right-click menus and the facility to create folders and subfolders. HHHHEEEEEEEELLLLPPPP

I am still paying for websites, just to keep my emails going but it sure is expensive with it being personal now. I don't store my emails with the current host, they just play middleman, receive the emails and ship them off to my Thunderbird. I store them on my computer and my external harddrive. Can you tell me how either I can host my own emails or a really reasonable priced email host? I don't want to loose these emails. The ones that mostly got used by the businesses have been dissolved. But the ones we are getting personal emails threw, we want to keep. Please advise.... thank you for your time and dedication to helping. Judi

I notice two account logged into my Mozilla account one is - Firefox mobile 130 - android 14 And the other is - Firefox on Samsung SMA146W

They both saw a few seconds but in the activity section I see a login time different of 1-2 minutes

I've been having problems with my mac regarding authorized access but i can't pinpoint it. Another example is my wifi network app will show my phone connecting to it with it being present multiple times. Like my phones will be listed 2 or 3 times as online.

I'm so confused. Any help would be appreciated
